hey y'all, Hypercollider here, and what is a radiohead can someone tell me please

Today's album is Jon Hopkins' Immunity, released on the 3rd of June 2013 under the Domino label.
The album is 8 tracks, just over an hour long, and amazing all the way through the end.

Now, let's go TBT (which is a fun new casual way to say track by track that is in with the youth):

We Disappear starts with a sample of someone entering a building, while the actual song fades in, which i think symbolizes Jon ... read more

hi everyone, hyperthony collidertano here, the world wide web's most occupied tune geek.

Today's review is of 猫 シ Corp's NEWS AT 11, released under the Geometric Lullaby label on September 11th 2016.

hey y'all, it's your friendly neighborhood secret fourth member of Death Grips Hypercollider here, and hoo boy, we got another ambient vaporwave album to check out.

The album in question is Birth Of A New Day, or 新しい日の誕生, by vaporwave duo ２８１４.
I went into this album with pretty decent expectations, since it's one of the most critically acclaimed vaporwave albums ever, but...idk it ended up being sorta underwhelming.
For context, the last vaporwave album I've heard was ... read more

hey y'all, first time reviewer and part-time "bald guy drinking orange juice" impersonator Hypercollider here, and i'm here to give my opinions on this obscure post-vaporwave album. yes i know, riveting.

Y'all this thing is fucking great. I don't really listen to much ambient music, not because i don't like it but because i just haven't gotten to it yet, but after being recommended this album i gotta say, it has to be my favorite ambient record as of now. This album feels like dying, ... read more
